Has vgt too, which will have a significant impact on early boost development. I agree though, that 5r is also significant unless, it's still walking away in overdrive, with the the converters locked. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

10-4. I bet the 5R and vgt are game changers on that 6.0 too. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Good thread. What are you towing/grossing? I just purchased a 39 foot fifth wheel and finally going to address some nagging issues and make a few upgrades my truck. Good to hear this turbo is significantly better than the 38r. My truck has the zf6, what ar housing did you go with? Thanks!

That was the next thing I was going to ask him if he is still serious after everything I have presented to him. Should be interesting to see what the seller can provide. Lol Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Lol! I tried to steer him away as soon. As he said 6.4 and blown head gasket. I think he can get it for $6000. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I know all of the usual red flags, like the things mentioned. Most likely some pipeliner who doesn't know any better selling the truck. It's a young man that clearing my property that's thinking about buying it. I think he can get it for 6k. I thought the same thing about the head studs and...

Definitely has studs. Just realized he works for Rudy's. Good stuff. [emoji106] Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Again, I appreciate it. I'll ask him if it was a short block or longblock from Ashland. He said it was studded, so it at least had that upgrade. I'll let him know about those heads too. Will also pass along your contact info. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

So it looks like she needs a head gasket. Not sure how a stage two motor lifts a head with stock turbos, but I'm not familiar with this platform. Sounds like some other shenanigans going on. Not sure if these motors come with fire rings. He said something about that, bit he might have just...

Thanks a million for all of that. I'll pass it on to my friend. First thing I asked him about when he mentioned it was delipped pistons. Once I saw that and ceramic coating I felt a little but better. That's cool Harland Shop makes rockets. I definitely know that can be an issue for sure...

The big thing I see from researching these is crank walk and rocker arms? Are there any upgrades to the thrust bearing setup to keep this from happening, or is it just proper machining work and assembly that's key? Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I can find out. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Anyone familiar with these guys? Friend looking at a truck with one in it. Appreciate any info provided. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info Jake! I may hold on to the bigger one as it may come in handy for ball joint removal on other vehicles that might need more room with the adapters in place. I have cut the old ones out with a cutoff wheel the last time I did them and it worked great. I used a press to...
